Popping up everywhere with no signs of slowing, leopard print and leopard-inspired pieces are always chic in any interior setting. As seen here in the work of designer Benjamin Vandiver, the pattern works in a variety of interior styles to inject style and substance into a space. When used in its natural brown and black coloration, leopard print is a fabulous neutral to mix in with more colorful pieces, and when used in a bright, unexpected hue, it adds whimsy and fun to a space.
The key to tapping into this pattern's timeless style is to use restraint when incorporating leopard into your décor. Using layers upon layers of this bold print will look more cat-lady than sophisticated chic so pick and choose your leopard pieces to be the most impactful. Inject flair while remaining tasteful by mixing a simple set of throw pillows with other luxe textiles or by pairing a statement wall-to-wall carpet with a more subdued palette and finishes.
